Im running slow on blog write-ups. So before January ends I will post up my most recent trip abroad, an impulse booking after reading the multiple enteries from many bloggers out there, to Lille. So we set off on an early morning on Eurostar travelling away from rainy London to a dry/warm Lille. 1.5 hours only, we worked out that it was faster to travel to France than go Scotland. And probably cheaper too.So anyways, off we head off to Lille, details and money in hand.
OH, my whole plan of visitng what I intended to visit got totally ruined. I didn’t check the opening times (well i couldn’t find them) and some shops close sundays AND mondays……..laid back or what!On arriving to Lille, we are already having trouble, fun trouble, the metro machines don’t take notes! COINS ONLY. Shocking! But gave me excuse to buy a yummy, delicious and light crossaint (see england should have these patisseries JUST dotted round London stations) just to get change. Its hectic already.
We also have trouble map reading, in a tiny town like Lille, we take ages just to get to our destination only to find half the time its closed! T_T………So off we head to Meerts. Takes ages. We are lost. So we buy a doghnut to compensate for the years its taking to get to Meerts.
V: Lets ask someone.
C: Okie.
V: How do we ask? French english?
C: I don’t know.
V: Lets ask the next woman then.
It’s funny, half french half english half nodding. Fun times. Meerts IS WONDERFUL. We don’t even bother checking the price, we are too famish and in need of sugar rush. We get one. A HUGE sugar rush. We are probably stupid to order a dessert each. And it ends up with me having too much sugar resulting to half falling asleep on the table and C having a slight paparazzi moment with the Meerts guy. Did any of you see cute guys there??? I can’t remember the names of what we ordered. So here they are:

After the sugar rush, we head off to see Lille. I won’t post about my tourist things and concentrate on the food……..most likely ending in pictures because November seems a long way away! Now I bet all you guys think my fellow blogger D is so much better now dont you? =P
And I give up on what I remember what everything taste like. But the cheesy bauguette thing WAS ABSOLUTELY MELT IN MOUTH SERRIOSULY DELICIOUS.
My travel partner C says: Chicken needed next time fo’ sure. Juicy juicy chicken.
Everyone go to Le Cercle and order their chicken. THE WHOLE restaurant ordered it apart from us. Typical. And I don’t really remember much apart from the sugar rush, getting lost everytime, walking on the same street for the nth time and depressed over chicken. Life is such a bliss really. Which is why this blog is so short. Concise is the way forward people!
